WELCOME
TO THE BALL
Stand
up by the fountains in the sky
Stars lay in your eyes
Pick a flower in my little garden
And roam with the butterflies
Hide your head in the clouds above
Fill your plate with mounds of love
Have
some fruit, oh by the way
I love your suit but do you feel alright
Here you wait a moment till the gates are opened
Then you’ll see the light
Let your little flower grow
Cuz when I call you need to know
And take with you everyone you meet
Cuz here we go
Welcome
to the ball
We can talk forever at the ball
You can chase your blues away
Welcome to the ball
Fill your cup with laughter at the ball
And you can dance the night away... come on
Yeah,
yeah, yeah...
Come
on up, help yourself at the table
And don’t forget to taste the wine
And take a stroll down the gallery
Where snapshots of your memories
Hang down the line
See the courtyard by the pool
Here you’ll find the breeze is cool
Come and meet everybody
Cuz here we go
Welcome
to the ball
We can talk forever at the ball
You can chase your blues away
Welcome to the ball
Fill your cup with laughter at the ball
And you can dance the night away... come on
Yeah,
yeah, yeah...
You
can dance the night away
You can chase your blues away
Well you can dance the night away
You can chase your blues and…
Let your little flower grow
Cuz when I call you need to know
And take with you everyone you meet
Cuz here we go… here we go
SOLO
Welcome
to the ball
We can talk forever at the ball
You can chase your blues away
Welcome to the ball
Fill your cup with laughter at the ball
And you can dance the night away
Welcome
to the ball
We can talk for hours at the ball
You can chase your blues away
Welcome to the ball
Fill your cup with laughter at the ball
And you can dance the night away... dance
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

CRYIN’
FREE
I
said... I
I
am out, I am sailin’
In a boat with my best friend
He’s asleep and I’m watchin’
As the afternoon storm’s a-brewin’
I said... I
I
am here, I am talkin’
I was lame but now I’m walkin’
Cuz I cried and I screamed
Yes, I begged and I was given
I said... I
I
was strong, I was mean
Thought I looked good in the mirror
I was down, I was out
I was distant till you came nearer
I said... I
Free,
I’m cryin’ free
Set me free, cuz I’m cryin’ free
I said... I
Say
it louder, shout it louder
Let your tears run down ‘cross the border
Runnin’ wild, runnin’ free
I beg you please come do it with me… yeah
Free,
I’m cryin’ free
Set me free, cuz I’m cryin’ free
Set me free, cuz I’m cryin’ free
Set me free, cuz I’m cryin’ free
I said... I
I
am out, I am sailin’
In a boat with my best friend

GUESS
WHO’S DRIVING
I
was walking down the street
Hey where are we going?
Complained my aching feet
It was hot and I was sweating
Didn’t know if I would last
Two cans of coca-cola
And getting nowhere fast
Then
a big old man in a pick-up truck
Pulled over in front of me
Let me take you for a ride he said
And I will set you free
Come inside, lock the door,
He slammed the pedal to the floor
Tryin’ to grab the wheel from his hands
He said to me
Guess who’s driving?
Then
I turned up his radio
And heard the shocking news
Thought I had a stroke
I spilled some coke on my blue suede shoes
So I looked at him I said listen man
I think we’re going way too far
He smiled and asked if I would rather wish
Upon a falling star
Oh,
I don’t know where I’m going but
I can’t wait to be there now
I’m feeling kinda desperate
Though I know I’ll make it there somehow
Life is but a mist he said
One blink and you’re out of town
So hold on tight, I’ll take you for a ride, yeah...
It’s gonna turn you upside down
There’s
only one way to heaven now
But so many roads to hell
Ain’t no other way to nowhere
Still you only got one soul to sell
I looked out from my window
Though every mile’s a battleground
He said aren’t you glad I bailed you out
from the lost & found
Oh,
it’s amazing how things are crystal clear
And still we fail to see
We hold on to what we think we know
We’re proud of who we claim to be
I know I try be behind the wheel
And steer it as I please
But the big old man always reminds me
Guess who’s driving?
This
ain’t no game
This ain’t no fantasy but…
Guess who’s driving?
You
wanna turn your world around
I won’t let you down but…
Guess who’s driving?
You
wanna turn it inside out
Well let me show you what it’s all about but…
Guess who’s driving?

FALLING
Well,
isn’t there a time when we should see
We’re prone to killing all the dreams that just might set us free
Yet I don’t understand the way we walk, the way we talk
Yes, isn’t there a time when we should see
Yeah we need to see
Sometimes
I feel I hover in the air
When actually I’m only tied down on my own electric chair
Oh can I always stand here by your side
I wanna stand by your light where I cannot run, I cannot hide, no.
Cuz
I remember when I was younger
On my own and I thought I felt stronger
Flying high as a kite in the big sky
Looking down on the ground then I ask you why
Am I alone at the top and I wonder
I can’t hear you though you’re loud as a thunder
But in the night when you hear me calling
You stop these tears from falling down
I
found the other side, it’s no lie
I tell you there’s more to the picture than ever meets the eye
The roses in the garden
Can you smell them, can you smell them from a distance
Yes, I found the other side and it’s no lie
I’m telling you no lies… no
Cuz
I remember when I was younger
On my own and I thought I felt stronger
Flying high as a kite in the big sky
Looking down on the ground then I ask you why
Am I alone at the top and I wonder
I can’t hear you though you’re loud as a thunder
But in the night when you hear me calling
You stop these tears from falling
Down
on the ground
Is where I belong, it’s where you’re hearing this song
Down on the ground
It’s not a place to stop, it’s where you’re lifted up
Oh yeah
Cuz
I remember when I was younger
On my own and I thought I felt stronger
Flying high as a kite in the big sky
Looking down on the ground then I ask you why
Am I alone at the top and I wonder
I can’t hear you though you’re loud as a thunder
But in the night when you hear me calling
You stop these tears from falling down
You stop these tears from falling down

STATE
OF GRACE
I
desire to run this race
In my desire to see your face again
Wake me up in the morning light
I am here
I
desire to wrong no one
In my desire, the damage is done again
Walk me home where the big blue sky’s always clear
And near
The
pain is gone, the weight’s lifted off my shoulder
The rain has come and gone, the storm is over
Welcome to the state of grace
I
desire to call on you
Yes I desire to run to you once again
In my soul I thirst, but it’s okay you say
Yes
I desire to break the code
Say hello to the yellow brick road again
Let me mend your heart dear broken hearted
I
hear your thunder on the misty mountain top
Never stop
I hear your voice, you’re calling to my face sayin’
Welcome to the state of grace
SOLO
I
want to find a place to live… yeah
Somewhere I can give
A place where you and I could meet… yeah
I
desire to run this race
In my desire to see your face again
Wake me up in the morning light
I am here

SOMEDAY
Change
these colors of blue and grey
I can’t stand it anymore
The sun keeps rising on the wrong side of town
Ooh, don’t you walk out that door
I can’t breath, I can’t… I can’t see
I call out your name
It’s alright you say, I can’t wait
I will be home someday
Have
you been there ooh my friend
Searching high and low
Imagine closely a painless world
How can you say no
Don’t
you run, don’t you… don’t you hide
Don’t turn your back away
It’s alright you say, I can’t wait
Oh please come home someday
Let
me take you to a land
With no castles in the sand
While there is still time
Oh won’t we do it today
Let me carry you away
From the scene of the crime
Take
this rainbow away from the dark
Clear these clouds away
Let me smell your roses again
Send forth the light of day, yeah
Cuz I can’t breath, I can’t… I can’t see
And I call out your name, yeah
It’s alright you say, I can’t wait
I will be home
I will be home
Yes, I will be home
I will be home someday

I
DON’T KNOW
I
don't know what to do when I look far away
Every step that I make is prayed for everyday
I don't know what to say, sometimes words are in vain
People try to give answers while they're numb to my pain
I don't know how to live, life gets too complicated
Don’t wanna be aggravated
I
don't know too much about how it should be
Let me find us some help so we’d be able to see
I don’t know for sure if I could make it alone
Don’t wanna take no chances, ain’t gonna be on my own
I don’t know what is real, everything’s just a show
But thank God I don’t know
Thank
God, thank God
Thank God I don’t know
I
don't know how to feel, I find myself in too deep
I get a tap on my shoulder when I walk in my sleep
I don’t know where to go, too many roads to take
Got to find some directions, oh for goodness’ sake
I don’t know if it’s true, and I don’t know if it’s false
I’ve got to break down these walls
Thank
God, thank God
Thank God I don’t know
Thank
God, thank God cuz I don’t know
Don’t know too much anymore
I don’t wanna see cuz someday Ill see the truth
And you and I could be set free
So tell me where do you wanna be
Cuz let me tell you, let me tell you I don’t know
Oh, I don’t know

TONIGHT,
TOMORROW & FOREVER
Into
the deepest part of me
You dive into my conscience
You knit the fabric of my soul
My heart turns into clay
Though you smash it into pieces
When it gets too hard to shape
You tear my world apart
And bring me to a brand new place
Where
death is life
Where laughter is the tears I cried
Where pain brings comfort tonight
I'm
standing underneath the moonlight
Gazing up into your house
I try to reach out my hands to touch you
Just wanting to feel your warmth
When I get so lost inside my own little thoughts
You reach out your hands and grab me
I close my eyes but there's no darkness
Your light shines bright, I can see my way back home
Where
death is life
Where laughter is the tears I cried
Where pain brings comfort tonight
Tonight,
tomorrow and forever
Tomorrow and forever
Tonight, tomorrow and forever
Yeah, I wanna be with you
Where
death is life
Where laughter is the tears I cried
Where pain brings comfort tonight
Yeah,
I wanna be with you
Where
death is life
Where laughter is the tears I cried
Where pain brings comfort tonight
Tonight,
tomorrow and forever

BELOVED
Open
the door, won’t you turn on the lights
I can’t see nothing here, you can’t see my eyes
The wind starts to blow, there’s a storm in the night
The fog rolls along with your fear and your lies
Light
up a candle look into your heart
Portraits of yesterday’s torn you apart
The mirror has cracked but the memories remain
The tears have long gone yet the blood leaves a stain
Beloved
my daughter, beloved my son
Beloved my sister, my brother, my only one
Beloved be free, come hear and see
Be loved my beloved, be loved by me.
Run
to your right side, hide on your left
You can fly up to the mountains or dive into the depth
I whisper in your ears wherever you go
If only you’d listen, if only you’d know
Beloved
my daughter, beloved my son
Beloved my sister, my brother, my only one
Beloved be free, come hear and see
Be loved my beloved, be loved by me.
See
me, feel me
Gaze upon the universe you’ll see where you stand
Feed me, heal me
Drink from my cup and take hold of my hand
Beloved
my daughter, beloved my son
Beloved my sister, my brother, my only one
Beloved be free, come hear and see
Be loved my beloved, be loved by me.

THE
OTHER SIDE
You
wake up in the morning, you don’t think about it
You open your eyes and start to smell the sweet morning air
You go on about your day
You think to yourself, oh come what may
It’s just how it is, you never think about it
There’s
a message on the phone, it’s for you my friend
Someone saying hello, familiar voice on the other end
You turn to the fridge and have your fill
You drive your fancy car and do as you will
Well let me tell ya something…
I
heard there’s gonna be rain today
It ain’t gonna look pretty anyway oh baby
Uh huh huh
You might be winning in the lottery
And tell sweet lies to your diary oh honey
I’ll see you on the other side
Well
here goes daddy gently rockin’ your cradle
(Your mama called, she’s fine but she’s running late)
You spill your milk while crumbs fall under the table
(Hey don’t forget to clean your plate)
You paid all your bills today
Your savings account inside these jars of clay
Well let me tell you a story…
I
went up the hill and met with the fool
He told me silly things that sounded pretty cool oh baby
Uh huh huh
You hear little things from here and there
Your crazy little head will take you everywhere oh honey
I’ll see you on the other side
Ain’t gonna say goodbye
Oh
won’t you fall on your knees and let your words ring out
(Let your words ring out)
And don’t you wipe your tears in vain
(Don’t wait until tomorrow)
When you look and see what’s going on around you
Better look and see instead what goes on inside you, yeah
SOLO
Uh
huh, let me tell you…
I went up the hill and met with the fool
He told me silly things that sounded pretty cool oh baby
Uh huh huh
You hear little things from here and there
Your crazy little head will take you everywhere oh honey
I’ll see you on the other side
That’s
what I say…
I heard there’s gonna be rain today oh baby
I’ll see you on the other side
It ain’t gonna look pretty anyway oh baby
Uh huh huh
You might be winning in the lottery oh honey
I’ll be waiting, uh huh
And tell sweet lies to your diary oh honey
I’ll see you on the other side

CIRCUS
CAME TO TOWN
You
took me down to the small town
You took me down where the merry-go-round
Goes round and round
Round and round
You took me down to the party
You took me down where the clowns abound
Took me down down down
Down down down
I
didn’t know what I had to do
Till you showed me
I didn’t know where the fun begins
No no no no no
Till
circus came to town
(Came to town)
SOLO
You
took me down for the showtime
You fed me good, didn’t cost me a dime
In your time time time
Time time time
We walked and you held my hand
As the band played the sweet, sweet music
That’ll never end
Yes, it never ends… no
I
didn’t know what I had to do
Till you showed me
I didn’t know where the fun begins
No no no no no
Till
circus came to town
(Came to town)
SOLO
I
never thought I’ve always been alone
Till circus came to town
(Came to town)

THESE
ARE THE DAYS
These
are the days
These are the days I’ve longed to see
These are the nights
These are the nights when time came to be
To
know what it’s like to believe
To know what it’s like to conceive
To know that it’s gonna be alright
Alright, yeah
These
are the people
These are the people of the sun
We stick the needle
We stick the needle while the damage is done
To
know what it’s like to be free
To know what it’s like to see
To know that it’s gonna be alright
I say alright… alright, I say alright
At
the end of the day there’s a way we go
But when it’s all over then it’s over, didn’t you know
SOLO
These
are the days
These are the final days of life
These are the nights
This is the time I say goodnight
Goodnight
